It has become a fashion to boast about our rich heritage.
This is resorted to more by an army of social media enthusiasts as it gives a
definitely a sense of satisfaction. It is indeed a privilege to belong to a
rich heritage of culture, philosophy, scientific temper, social mores,
spiritual insights etc.

No doubt this sort of pride of ancestry gives hope for the
future. But at the same time we must also accept and acknowledge why? What? Who?
Lead us away from, not down from, such rich heritage? We also need to look practically
what we must do now, gradually and diplomatically, not only, to resurrect our
past glory but also revive the areas in which the modern civilization need to
march ahead for a bright future. We must also question ourselves how much of?
Or what part of our past glory that we are proud of and are willing to identify
ourselves with, without disturbing our present life too much?

We have too many great observations, citations singing the
glory and greatness of India along with a crowd , a more visible one, which
gets more recognition as well which is more keen on projecting 'Slum dog
Millionaires' for a particular audience. We are looked down as a nation which
can be easily led by emotional maneuvering and manipulations, euphemistically
implying no one need to bother about the
mental capacity and identity of the nation. This is because we very often
resort to uncritical love as when we deify some film stars, politicians and
make too many god men out of orators, scholarly interpreters of our scriptures,
heads of our mutts etc or resort to unloving criticism when we blame everything
on some outside force, as if out of xenophobia. I have read and reviewed
wonderful books by many especially on these topics the books BECOMING INDIAN
and BEING INDIAN by PAVAN K. VARMA who unfortunately is now in a very wrong
place for all his erudition, exposure, experience etc, probably, driven by a desperation
or frustration at the lack of recognition, want of platform to survive at his
level of life. No one has blamed the British cultural and linguistic intrusion
along with the portrayal of our proud heritage more lucidly than him.

But having said that, how many of us can touch our heart and
say that whole edifice created by the Macaulay has been destructive, has not
contributed to our small growth story, it has been only negative etc. Certainly
not, every event, especially if it had any great impact which cannot be denied
or ignored, must have taken place to either make us undergo a specific
experience or benefit. So in that way Macaulay's system too had its hidden,
rather should I say immense benefit for so many generations? I am not saying
his system is better or correct or more appropriate for a nation like India. We
cannot either deny or do away with the fact that his system did penetrate and
prevailed which probably gave employment to millions of Indians then as clerks
now as software professionals; it has enabled the great Indian talent to be
shared by the whole world. I would like to look at the positive contribution of
Macaulay. I am not evaluating it in comparison with the negative impacts it may
have or has had.

The circus called AAP comes a half circle let us wait and watch
manifold fun unfold in future.

A bunch of buffoons and clowns excreted from media mafia,
NGO mafia and other anti-national mafia cannot run the circus for long together.
Of course this plan B of Congress and NAC keeps on back firing everyone at
every turn.

There were shills,
ringers, pickled punks remained ideological statues.

The lunge rope
of hope is still held by the media bosses because they excreted some of these
clownish creatures.

People should have known about these excreted clowns after
that 49 day John Robinson show
what it would be like.

First they distanced from the Boss Hostler because of whose efforts the whole lot was
excreted. He too was blinded by the victory and is busy lying down in his kip dreaming of new protests.
Some people become addicted to street protests.

Excretion of constipated anti-national ideologies is not
easy that is why the Charley Horse or crick [muscle spasm as it happens during
constipation] twinges [pain caused during constipation] all those who were
carried away by these bunch of buffoons and clowns with no national interest,
no qualm to question anyone.

Media mafia is also unleashing its trailers to make their own TRP.

I pity the people of Delhi as they have moved from tweedledum and tweedledee mislead my the two culprits the
media mafia and anti-national NGOs.

2. Cricket has always been the great ‘game of glorious
uncertainties’.

First we must place all facts on the board before analyzing rather
than resorting to arm chair criticism.

3.Cricket
unites all Indian more than anything else on earth including the concern for
their own life. So, everyone gets involved with varying degrees of attention,
time devoted and importance in some way or other.

4.It
is the biggest sports cum entertainment
industry of the nation with a few lakh individual participating actively ,
benefiting and making their livelihood and a few million others indirectly benefiting
from/through it.

5.So,
the interest, involvement and the revenue it generates on the whole is enormous
for any sane person to ignore it even if he is not interested in the game in
India.

6. Naturally, therefore, it has produced many
great stars of the game and icons for the masses.

7.No
player who reaches the stage of representing the country after undergoing stiff
competition at all levels including overcoming all politics, family situation-based
constraints, enduring many physical and psychological hurdles and sacrificing
many other things in life would like to throw away a great opportunity to
become a greater hero in important matches.

8.Like
all other industries this is also global and we need to survive in the global
market.

9.This
is a tricky industry which cannot be run like a corporate house because the uncertainty
factors are too many, surprisingly including the ground size and it is perhaps
one of its many surprise elements which make it more interesting.

10.We all need to live with certain universal facts
like fortune is fluctuating; fluke is fickle in any walk of life; form is
temporary; failures are inevitable etc

11.But having said all that we also need to
patiently devote lot of time to analyze the probable causes/reasons for failure
purely from cricketing technical aspects and try to rectify them to ensure
consistency of enhanced and excellent performance of Indian cricket team which
is the main source/ product for the two industries of sports and entertainment
and livelihood for all those engaged in them along with a hoard of accessory
industries connected with these two.

12.The technical flaws and short comings in my view
are very minimal and can be easily overcome by the Indian cricketers who are a
bunch of highly talented, eager and quick learners.

13.I am not an expert but from what I have observed
the following can be done as it is with the existing players.

14.While all our IPL franchisees spend in crores to
scout and recruit foreign players to entertain the cricket loving and feed the cricket
hungry public with grand gala shows of talents from other nations, we also need
to develop pitches which have similar fast and bouncy tracks like the
Australian and South African tracks along with our existing tracks which helps
spinners and batsmen.

15.We also need built many more stadiums in extreme
North Eastern cold regions as well as Himachal Pradesh to get used to cold and
swinging conditions.

16.Very often it is the extra pace, bounce and
swing which lets down our talented batsmen.

17.We need to scout for good athletic experts to
coach talented youth to withstand physical rigors and psychologists to train
them to with stand psychological pressure etc.

18.Our villages have lot of able bodied, hard
working athletic youth, who may not speak in English, but who can play good
cricket if trained properly. I request BCCI and the IPL franchisees to spend
some thought and money on all these.

19.When Pakistan can produce so many excellent fast
bowlers why not India because we mostly confine even cricket to elite schools
and metros.

20.Despite that raw talent and genius prop up on the
national scene but unless they are methodically groomed with certain bench
marks and well set goals then in the long run all the raw talent will go
unutilized or underutilized as it happens to many potential great players in
Pakistan, Caribbean Islands etc. The West Indian teams of 70s faded along with
retirement of its extraordinarily talented players due to lack methodical
grooming, the Pakistan of early 90s vanished the same way, the Australian team
of late 90s to 2000 went the same way, though they have bounced back every now
and then, the Indian teams of last decade need not go the same way as Indians
can and must bounce back like the Aussies.

21.We need to hatch ability out of potentiality and
make it deliver optimum utility through methodical training, encouragement and
care.

22.Wahab Riaz’s spell against Australia was the
best exhibition of pace bowling in the whole tournament till now but unfortunately
the cricketing world hardly bothers about such talent because his own country
for all you may know may drop him next season due to some internal politics.

24.I would like to underline support in proportion
to the contribution to the industry, proportionate to the impact they have had
on Indian cricketing industry, proportionate to the happy occasion they have
offered to millions of fans whereas we pay crores to heroes of every language
film in India who appear in stereotyped dance sequences, stories and fight
scenes.

25.Please try to understand a Steve Jobs importance
and revenue cannot be the same like the best software brain who heads as CEO of
a software company.

26.Impact is more important.

27.We tend to forget the long term interests of the
industry with every major event and therefore fail to pay attention to the vital
micro details/aspects.

Why it is imperative to give a chance to economic development,
good transparent governance over any political agenda?

Nations, like individuals, have to be empowered. So, the people
entrusted with the privilege of ruling/governing the nation and exercising
power to enact policies which impact the citizens must be clear about what
actually empowerment is at present?

In very simplistic terms it is doing things that would
promote economic development leading to taking care of the basic necessities of
maximum number of the citizens of the nation along with ensuring to bequeath an
environment which won’t harm the lives in future. I am carefully and
intentionally avoiding much debated and debatable terminologies like
sustainable development, bio-diversity etc.

Though all these may sound as simple as a school boy’s
essay, in reality, ruling/governing a nation, any nation, is not an easy task;
whatever be the form of government that is in place.

Internally there are both obvious as well as hidden hurdles.

The international politics has so many intrigues that the
labyrinth of it is unclear and unknown even to the most well versed, well equipped
spy agencies of most powerful nations in the world.

Manipulations of all kinds political, economic, commercial,
trade, attack etc are all so masked and complicated that it is not easy even to
know them. In addition the information explosion spreads so many stories some of
which could be true and many of them mere hunches peddled by vested interest
groups to create portrayal of proverbial victim-villain phenomenon to whip up
passions of a group or generate reactions to gauge international opinions or
garner international support.

But however much one may wish away the ‘victim-villain’
story line is what is easily understood by the majority of human beings. So, no
wonder all politicians and media manipulators use it effectively.

Nations will have to know not only what real empowerment is,
they also need to make the public know who the real victims and villains are.

The unfortunate but unavoidable facts are that there are
many nation states and groups which pander more to identity politics; defining modern
states based on some old ‘isms’ of economical models; ancient religious
affinities etc . More sickening is the fact that these are backed by opinion
molding media propaganda which pushes whole populations into identity cages
without letting them live life in comfort and calmness and let others too enjoy
the same privilege.

The villains are no more obvious invaders, colonialists,
imperialists imposing their bossy insolence, military powers dropping bombs or
wagging wars;

The villains are not present physically at the national borders;

They are not lurking in bushes or sailing into your shores
with sirens;

The villains are the surreptitious creepy political and
economic manipulators aided by media mafia [euphemistically referred to as propaganda
peddlers or mass opinion molders], international political manipulators, identity
hawkers, some unfortunate dirty corporate houses and some dubious financial
institutions etc who are in the grip of these manipulators. So, even alert
nations fall a prey to these manipulators unknowingly and unwillingly.

The victims are the rest of humanity who are not engaged in
these activities. The victims actually outnumber the villains. Therefore, it is
easier to create a conducive world where governance based on economic
developmental agenda is given a priority over the rest.

Many books, documents, nowadays websites and blogs provide
some sneak peek into denouement of unimaginable international political
manipulations and ramifications. Of course, these are confined to most often just
two or three continents not all. We can extrapolate and imagine the magnitude
of invisible impacts. Unfortunately, we have neither astronomical facts nor
astrological charts to decipher or even hunch the outcomes of these.

To sum it all in brief, the summits, conferences and meetings
of international leaders very nicely mask these realities with diplomatic
wheedling, hypocritical bonhomie, pious oaths, catchy slogans, attractive policy
pronouncements, tedious treaties, symbolic gestures, photogenic postures etc
and finally the secretaries, top diplomats trot out with hangover from cocktail
parties to brief the media either with or without handing over the brief case
of currencies to carry a favorable story of grand success of summit.

Here is the script of what my daughter spoke in the inter school
oratorical competition for Madras Week celebration two years back held at PSBB
k.K. Nagar and she got the first prize.

The Topic given was

Heritage
and Metro rail

Heritage as a terminology has acquired a wide range of connotations.
So, at first we need to clearly define what we mean by heritage?

In general we all have scant respect combined with varying
degrees of ignorance and indifference towards many really culturally, socially,
environmentally and scientifically significant aspects, value systems and
facets of heritage and the symbols that represent such heritage.

Heritage in brief includes and involves the full range of our
inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture. Most importantly, it is the range of
contemporary activities, meanings, value systems and behaviors that they impact.

However, going by the topic it is obvious that we are talking
about a sudden new found concern and care for some old, dilapidated, mostly
unused or unusable or misused constructions mostly built in the past few
decades at the maximum a century ago. Constructions mostly made of combinations
of brick, lime stone, clay etc. Of course, there are some exceptions to this,
wherein, such old buildings are used for some meaningful activities and they do
stand as symbols of some activity. Let me stress they are symbols and not the
intrinsically significant part of such activity.

Constructions which were older than a century and a half are
mostly of solid rocks, stones and hence do not get jolted or spoiled even when
they get submerged under water like the structures at Mahapalipuram.

This sudden concern is purely due to some vested interests,
ideological affinities, political expediency and purely personal and material
gains.

We all must have sane approach towards anything based on facts,
inevitable situational requirements, the relative changes and adjustments that
we have to make towards such requirements and in some cases even a hard
decision or a sacrifice if one may use such big words.

The facts are:-

1] Everything has an expiry date, including our life.

2] Infrastructural development is inevitable if we are to
promote economy, trade and enable movement of goods and transportation of a
constantly growing population.

3] If we remain as luddites [those opposing change] then we will
remain an economically backward state/country.

4] What could we do if these buildings, mostly those built of
brick, lime stone and clay and existing in dilapidated conditions get damaged
or come crushing to the ground due to earth quake, severe cyclonic storm,
sudden floods, heavy rainfall etc or get destroyed in some fire.

5] In most cases the activities that are taking place can be
easily relocated elsewhere in the interest of growth of economy.

We must all remember one thing that the only thing that does not
change is change and everything else is subject to change.

Heritage has very little to do with the past, but is actually
more about how we conceptualize the future. Objects of heritage are
the things we pay attention to because they’re still meaningful to us, not
always because they tell great stories about the past but because we use them
to tell stories about ourselves. Practices
of heritage are customs and habits which, although
intangible, also inform who we are as groups, and help to create our shared
social memory.

We use objects of heritage
(monuments, buildings, sites, landscapes) and practices of heritage (languages,
music, community celebrations) to shape our ideas about who we are as nations,
communities, and individuals. What we define as ‘heritage’ is constantly
changing in the light of the present as we look to the past to imagine our
future.

So in the interest of future
and our own progress we must be willing to exchange a few symbols of heritage in
the form of some old buildings.

We read in history books that how passive spectators we were
when all our rich cultural heritages were plundered by invaders. We ourselves
have made lots of changes to our value systems, and symbols of heritage for
various reasons.

If time permits I can go into the relative importance and even
inevitability of metro and mono rails……

It is high time that BJP delinks itself from the fanatic
fringes of RSS brigade otherwise it will prove as costly and as destructive as
for Congress hanging on to the apron
strings Nehru family or the left
lingering in its 16th century slogans.

Most politicians and religious leaders of all hues and
parties are soaked in superficiality, showmanship, sycophancy and pander to
pseudo and parochial populist schemes. They are churned out of some such
socio-cultural bias or ideological and organizational compulsions. Such people
always resort to executing wrong priorities under pressure and execute them
without the necessary diplomacy, delicacy and hypocrisy of a seasoned
missionary.

So nothing comes forth from them only froth.

The populace which hoisted them into power and position laps
up the bubbles of this froth. It is vicious circle where certain imagined
identity is ideologically acquired and most people are vulnerable victims to
this unconscious vicious circle. Once they are into it they suffer from
identity crisis. This is how both politics and religions exercise command and control over many.

One creates
beliefs while the other policies and
both are euphemisms to block individuals from rational thinking.

They fail to differentiate between the chaff and grain; they
mistake the symbols for substance; some scratch the surface of the symbols and
claim it as great and new interpretation like Devadutt Patnaik does and it is interesting to read
because he unravels the bridge between the symbols and substance with lot of
erudition and solid academic reference work but too much of labored
interpretations.

Anyone who grasps even an iota of the great nectar of
substance/intrinsic value would stop dabbling in any debates or discussion and
if at all they do it would only be enlightening like the philosophical probing
of Ramana Maharishi, JK, Swami Vivekananda, Bertrand Russell, Sri Aurobindu
etc.

Coming to the specific issue of ban on beef here based on
these above observations it is not at all surprising that some politicians act
very foolishly at times and it sets people into debates for and against.

It is a common malady of human species as a whole to
misinterpret scriptures and misuse them out of context or beyond their
contextual validity [we all must remember that religious scriptures too have an
expiry date] abuse, misuse ideological inhibitions and insinuations. But it becomes
a social problem when such misinterpretations are enforced on others.

I am a vegetarian I have never tasted even omelet and mostly
avoid even cakes. I have a spontaneous genetic rejection towards anything that
is not vegetarian. However, I am not a pure vegetarian, no one on earth is. We
all swallow our saliva which is not vegetarian. Whenever we open our mouth or
breath we inhale many microbes…

If going by the commonly misunderstood notions of
vegetarianism, if the whole world turns vegetarians then the fish will breed so
much that sea water will submerge most
of the coastal land.

What are going to do to those who are habituated to eat
beef? What are you going to do to those who made their livelihood by selling
beef? Where will you house those bulls which were hitherto consumed by so many?
Do you have shelters for them?

What is violence? Who is to decide it? Killing and war has
been very well justified in our scriptures in specific contexts. Most
developments of the world have taken place out of violence and its
manifestations.

Some gems on violence and non-violence from Jiddu
Krsihnamurti

“We human beings are what we have been for millions of years
— colossally greedy, envious, aggressive, jealous, anxious and despairing, with
occasional flashes of joy and affection. We are a strange mixture of hate, fear
and gentleness; we are both violence and peace.”

Krishnamurti, Jiddu. Freedom From the Known. 1969.

“Violence is not merely killing another. It is violence when
we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person, when we
obey because there is fear. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the
name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle,
much deeper, and we are inquiring into the very depths of violence. When you
call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything
else, you are being violent. Do you know why it is violent? Because you are
separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by
belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is
seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion,
to any political party or system; he is concerned with the total understanding
of mankind.”

People who believed in AAP in the first place where naive and who do not know the inner dynamics of political scheming and manipulations,hidden agendas, lurking suspicions, ulterior motives .Fortunately, for these innocent gullible folks who thought AAP was something new, great etc, nature has popped up the simmering discontent within the rank and file of AAP to the surface so that the whole world gets an opportunity to know the real face of opportunistic, anti-national, anti-development AAP beneath the media promoted bubble mask.

AAP is a deadly mix of Congress, Left and anti-national NGOs with a new mask.

When power, pelf, publicity, popularity and position come cascading in to an individual or a group without necessary mental maturity and principles or values, without backed by organizational experience and strength, without established systems of command, control, delegation, trust etc;without any strong sense of goal or vision for mission for which, by fluke, such individual or group was showered with such benefits, then, it is only natural that for the good of the people of India that such an arrangement crumbles. I purposely call it arrangement; For, AAP is neither a party nor an organization. Let us be clear there are no leaders there either.Slowly everything will transpire [‘become known’- the original meaning of the word] as to what transpired between the parts of this mask [one half Cong and the other half Left] all of which desperately seek to be identified with equal importance and prominence. Only place where equality is wished for among this group of Atrociously Amateurish Protesters.Let us see beneath the mask the putrefied remains which make it a media pet. No guesses it is the leftover left of India which pulls in the gullible adolescents who are mostly unemployed, unemployable, employed but incapable and inefficient.The leftist ideologues are ideologically and professionally narcissistic. They have spent generations on ‘victim –villain’ social models in terms of socio-economic aspects of life. They also suffer from a chronic disease that they are incapable and unwilling to learn about other models of socio-economic systems of life.So, anyone who thinks of /acts towards long term economic development that can reduce the crowd of victims in that script makes them resort to knee jerk reactions. India’s greatest curse is, unfortunately, much promoted by Congress party [which made its socialist postures for electoral gains; these leftover leftist ideologues occupy most of the media houses.Some media houses like The Hindu are fully owned by these fossil genetic samples of leftover left of India.There are only two other areas where these fossil genetic samples are kept intact. The trade unions of leftist parties [ which incidentally ensured closure of units like Nokia, Foxcon etc near Chennai] and 4 member from two family who occupy the parliament [in the form of Karat and family {2} , Sitaram Yetchury and Bharadhan who has a constant competition with Karan Tappar –who manages to grind only his teeth while speaking- while Bharathan crushes to pieces every single word in English].Most of these leftist worthies are inducted MPs, they can never get elected.Despite them having less number of members than PMK, DMK, AGP etc, media houses always shove the mikes in the mouths of these worthies.

Pride of ancestry is the hope
for the future. India has it in great measure and justifiably so, despite all
the false history propagated to the contrary by our invaders and our own home
grown betrayers in various fields/walks of life.

Having said that to be always
preening and patting ourselves with almost a nostalgic ethnocentric pride, especially
laboriously staking claim for our contributions, our ancientness etc, announces
a sense of complex which portrays us as pathetic attention seekers. It also sounds
as if we are considered weak and therefore need to keep repeating our great
feats and past glory at every juncture, every forum and opportunity.

Truth always finds its own
way to manifest, however historians may attempt selectively to highlight or
hide it. While the whole world knows Columbus as a great discoverer, without
any doubt, the world also gradually came to know that every discovery of his [though
he was not responsible for it] ended up enslaving and killing many human beings
who were otherwise leading a happy life. Even if European history books written
with excessive emphasis of world wars, industrial revolution, French revolution
etc the contributions of ancient Greek civilization, Roman Empire etc can never
be overlooked.

Our greatest weakness was
lack of documentation, failing to propagate at the right time [not after many
centuries have passed by], fail to do and/or promote contextually relevant and
most import thing [prioritizing first things first] at specific junctures etc.

Of course, the last factor
mentioned above i.e. prioritizing contextually relevant thing was taken care
of, mostly, as if by some divine intervention, at crucial times through roles played by some great souls :-

Like Adi
Shankara who actually united the country psychologically and culturally by
unearthing many important concepts of Sanathana Dharma;

Like Swami Vivekananda
who brought to the notice of the Western world the great teachings of Sanathana
Dharma by opting to address them in their language and in the idiom that would
appeal to them, both these acts were timely;

Similarly the 68th
Sankaracharya of Kanchi Mutt popularly known as Mahaperiyava Sri
Chandrasekarendra saraswathy ensured the introduction of some parts of article
26 of The Indian Constitution which enable every Indian to worship and practice
his/her respective religion or sect, “Again,
when the Indian Constitution was being framed, Paramacharya called a well-known
Vedic scholar and asked him to meet Sardar Vallabhai Patel to pass on a message
from Him on the need for a vital provision in the Constitution to the effect
that the religious belief. This message was duly transmitted through a meeting
arranged by "The Hindu" with the visiting officials of the Indian
Government with the Vedic scholar deputed by Paramacharya. As a result Article
26 of the Constitution was enshrined and this extended constitutional
protection, not just to the major religions-Hinduism or Islam-but to every
sub-sect of these religion”-[ http://www.kamakoti.org/souv/5-52.html
];

In the early 90s one man wanted to retire from politics and
moved away but he was inducted as Prime Minister Shri P.V.Narasimha Rao, who
for the first time, post Independence made parliamentarians know that, besides
politics, economic progress and activities towards that were also part of
Government;

Similarly recently when corruption, atrocities and anti –national activities
reached a saturation point, destiny of India has found in MODI a leader who has
a vision, intention, credentials, mandate etc to lead the nation to greater
heights.

So, in the present context
what India needs to do, is not to resort to singing the refrain of its past
glories but rather prioritize and concentrate, with wisdom, to progress in
domains that matter more at present like economic development which will take
care of better survival conditions for many, eradication of poverty to a very
great extent, generate employment, improve education and research in science, technology,
communication, infrastructure etc.

Once our status in this area
i.e. economic development improves, then, the world will listen to us and look
up to us, till then all our belated parading of our past glory, sometimes ad
nauseam, will sound as if we are trying hard to market ourselves as a great
glorious nation with a enviable past and it may also inadvertently divert the
attention of youth from concentrating on economic developmental activities.

Too much of addiction to past
glory will give a sense of false complacency and trap us in the quagmire of
ethnocentric adulation leading to despicable existence as has happened in the
case of the glorious Greece.

Scientists have named latest particle
discovery as HIGGS BOSON recognizing the great scientist BOSE of India about whom
many Indians do not know anything at all.

Not that I am averse to know
and share the many great gems that exist in ancient Indian scriptures. In fact,
I have been requesting people to take up detailed study of DEVI BHAGAVATHAM
paying attention to probable esoteric references to unearth many hitherto unknown
mysteries.

people like Swami Atmapriyananda, [Vice Chancellor of
Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda University since 2005] who explain in
very scientific terms synergizing our past glory with the necessity and methods
to apply it to present day requirements.

India's past glory does not require any promoters as it will automatically manifest itself at the appropriate time and place.

Here are some links that
throw light on some aspects of our past glory for all of us to know

Everything in any process of growth is just a step, important and inevitable, but not a stop. It is so with mother’s milk [our biological aspect of life]; it is so with learning of alphabets, words and numbers [our intellectual aspect of life]; it is so with hugging, kissing and cajoling as babies [our emotional aspect of life]; it is so with our learning and understanding of different concepts [ our philosophical aspect of life]; it is so with all forms of worship, devotion and all its concomitant rituals and religious practices [ our spiritual life] and so on. This is the inherent wisdom. A normal human being has to go through a process to grow in everything or into something but ultimately grow out of it.

These steps are various types of status quo addictions, comfort zones, identity cages which take possession of our psyche and operates through it almost as a matter of habit or sometimes even as an automatic reflex movement. They then manifest in all spheres of our relationships.our culture, our religious practices, our food habits, our life styles etc and we get used to the comfort of relaxing in these steps without moving up. http://contentwriteups.blogspot.in/2015/02/identity-crisis.html
